Cats: The Jellicle Ball the Musical is a queer reimagining of the classical musical but on glitter heroine, and it is an ascending experience! It brings fierceness, euphoria, electricity, queerness, and outlandishness to a NYC’s ballroom set where these pussy cats strut their pose, pahhty their tails off, bring the audience to their feet, and sang, girl do they sang!!...dance…girl, do they dance!!...and work…do they werk it! The creative team behind this brilliantly reinterprets the Cats story into the world of real-life queer ballroom culture. If you want to pahhhhty, this is the musical that should be on top of your list. If you ever wanted to be part of that underground vogue Pose-offs with Billy Porter, you gotta get your fan and clock it, get yo tail off the couch and get this serving of pure joy. The storyline is simple, the Jellicle Cats gather for the BIG event, the Jellicle Ball, a massive, high-energy dance sequence where the cats introduce themselves and compete, not just for fun, to prove they possess a ‘soul,’ to showcase their identity, their worth, and their unique place within the tribe, hoping to earn the blessing of the elder and leader of their clan, Old Deuteronomy (the diva himself, André De Shields) who will choose one cat to ascend to the Heaviside Layer and be reborn. The Ball is a test of performance and community. As a tribute to their 3 huge Tony wins: Choreography, Direction, & Costume Design, I'm posting this clip that purrfectly showcases why they earned these awards under these categories. The "Disco Ball Descent" sequence marks the explosive climax where musical theatre collides with real-life LGBTQ+ ballroom culture. It is bonkaz! Sit back and watch purrrfection. As we celebrate Pride month, less not us forget that within all of this beauty they have created on stage, the dance, runway, and performance categories served as literal tools for survival, self-expression, and chosen family, elevating the original Jellicle gathering into a safe, empowering space for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals.
